Scientists Explain How UTI Treatment Strengthens Bladder Defenses

Original: Researchers at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Microtechnology have identified how an established treatment for recur

Researchers at EPFL's Laboratory of Microbiology and Microtechnology have identified how an established treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections works. According to the team, the therapy strengthens the bladder's own natural defenses while helping antibiotics reach bacteria that hide inside bladder cells. The findings could improve treatment strategies for patients suffering from repeated infections, a common and difficult-to-treat condition.

Why now: New research explains the mechanism of a widely used treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections, a condition affecting many people
